Rossi & Rossi are delighted to announce their participation in Art Stage Singapore 2014. Now in its fourth year, it has proven to be one of South East Asia’s most dynamic art fairs, featuring many leading international contemporary art galleries and art professionals.

For this edition Rossi & Rossi are showcasing works by Heri Dono, one of Indonesia's foremost contemporary artists. Best known for his installations inspired by experiments with wayang, the popular Javanese folk theatre, he has participated in exhibitions and workshops in Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States. 

Dono’s paintings depict wild deformations and free fantasies, out of which emerge characters from wayang stories. His profound knowledge of children’s cartoons, animated films and comics is reflected in his canvases which are filled with astonishing, even nightmarish characters, forming complex and intertwined stories, fantastical and absurd. Many of these works are critical commentaries on the varied sociopolitical issues in Indonesia as well as abroad.
